The Drama Begins - Part 2
"Just a moment!" Juniper slammed the bathroom door behind her, wrapping the towel securely around her body before going to answer the door. "Yes, what is it?"
A very bright red Ril stood in the doorway, eyes darting up to the ceiling. "Oh. Geez, uh, I didn't know you were..."
"Don't worry about it. Did you need something?"
"Uh, yeah." Ril glanced down at his claws. "Um, the guys and I were wondering...you didn't say who was going to be the next one-on-one. And normally it wouldn't be a big deal," he rushed, "but you see, we're organizing a volleyball tournament and we need two teams of four and so...we need to know who's going to get pulled away and-"
Juniper laughed, cutting on the never-ending stream of words. "Don't worry about it. If you could gather everyone in the living room, that would be fantastic."
The male spiral nodded and grinned at the bachelorette. "Of course. Thanks."
"No, thank you. I guess I'm not very good at this hosting thing..."
"You're perfect."
This time it was Juni's turn to flush. "Just go."
"Alright, now that I have you all here, I'm just going to get this all out in the open. Um, I am going to be having a one-on-one with Scout, and then you all better be ready for tomorrow morning, because we're going to be on a group date."
Luka's head snapped up. "All of us?"
"Yes. All of us." Juni scanned the room. "Are there any other questions?"
"Is there anything we have to do for the group date?" Jay lee fiddled with his other claws, glaring at Luka.
"No. Just show up. And get a good night's sleep."
As the other bachelors left the room, Scout stayed behind. "Thank you." His voice was soft, warmly smiling at the female before him.
"For what?"
"For picking me. I know you don't-"
"I'm going to stop you right there. You are wonderful, and I can't thing of anyone else I'd rather spend a relaxing evening with." She smiled, grabbing his claw. "Let's go."
"But don't I have to go get ready or something?"
"Not for this!"
Scout frowned as they walked into the library. "What are we doing here?"
"I have an idea. Do you trust me?"
A moment of consideration, then: "yes".
"You hesitated."
"Yes. I just spend all my time in the library. You forget I'm in med school."
"Well, this is going to be much more fun. Plus, we get hot cocoa and apple cider." She glanced at the table where two steaming pots were sitting, along with four mugs. "Shall we?'
Juniper glanced down at the card she held in her claws. "Alright. So, here's the deal. We aren't allowed to leave the library until we complete all of these challenges.
"
- Read a children's book out loud to your date as if they were a child
- Find a play script and act out three scenes from the show
- Find a book in another language and attempt to read it out loud to your date as if you really knew that language
- Find a 'learn to draw' book and draw one of the pictures from the book
"So? What do you think?'
A massive grin had broken over Scout's face. "That sounds fantastic. Absolutely awesome! I guess we better get a move on."
It took three hours (two of which were spent hunched over paper, Scout attempting to teach Juni how to draw), and many many giggle fits, but they finally finished the challenge. Juniper took the last sip on her cocoa and frowned. "I don't want this night to be over."
Scout smiled warmly and embraced her. "Should we go for a walk?"
"Sounds perfect."
He led her out to the gardens and they began to stroll around. "You know, I honestly thought you would send me home as soon as the first impressions rose wore off..."
"And now?" Big purple eyes met kind green ones.
"Now...now I'm hoping I get to stay, if only to have one more day like this."
A soft smile. "Well, I think you'll have that chance." Juniper reached up and tucked the purple rose behind his ear. "I can't wait for another day like this either."
